Lobes in this cortex are more closely associated with memory and in particular autobiographical memory. [15] The temporal lobes are also concerned with recognition memory. This is the capacity to identify an item as one that was recently encountered. [16] Recognition memory is widely viewed as consisting of two components, a familiarity ...

Declarative memory can be further sub-divided into semantic memory, concerning principles and facts taken independent of context; and episodic memory, concerning information specific to a particular context, such as a time and place. Semantic memory allows the encoding of abstract knowledge about the world, such as "Paris is the capital of France".
Comparisons of the neuroanatomy of caching and non-caching birds has shed light on the neural basis of spatial memory. [38] David Sherry and his colleagues devised experiments using the displacement of landmarks, to show that caching birds rely on spatial memory and landmark cues to find their caches, and local changes in cache appearance had ...
Mammillary bodies, and their projections to the anterior thalamus via the mammillothalamic tract, are important for recollective memory. [7] According to studies of rats with mammillary body lesions, damage to the medial mammillary nucleus lead to spatial memory deficits.
The difference in memory between normal aging and a memory disorder is the amount of beta-amyloid deposits, hippocampal neurofibrillary tangles, or amyloid plaques in the cortex. If there is an increased amount, memory connections become blocked, memory functions decrease much more than what is normal for that age and a memory disorder is ...
Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy [ edit on Wikidata ] Area 27 of Brodmann-1909 is a cytoarchitecturally defined cortical area that is a rostral part of the parahippocampal gyrus .
Neuroanatomy is the study of the structure and organization of the nervous system. In contrast to animals with radial symmetry , whose nervous system consists of a distributed network of cells, animals with bilateral symmetry have segregated, defined nervous systems.
